I don't think we can even if we ignore sysctl and proc have an implementation that we all agree is stable and safe before 2.6.17 merge window closes. I do think if we get our act together something that works and is tested when the 2.6.18 window opens is very reasonable. (Limited to UTS and sysvipc with other work waiting until later). Does that sound like a reasonable and achievable goal?
